Users of the recently-announced Galaxy Note 4 report that they are seeing a major defect on their device which shows a significant gap between the phablet’s body and its display – thus the term “gapgate”. [caption id="attachment_70900" align="aligncenter" width="480"] Samsung Galaxy Note 4 with a card fitting the gap.[/caption] After numerous complains on the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus’ body easily bending when applied pressure and after other brands had made fun of it, it seems like Samsung is getting the spotlight this time but not in a good way. South Korean users, where the Galaxy Note 4 was released last September 26, said that the gap in their device is thick enough to fit 2 sheets of A4 bond papers or a slightly thicker business card.

It has the same screen resolution, the same camera, the same internals, the same Note suite and so forth.
